I remember when it used to be all the REALLY interesting stuff was root only, yet a lot of normal interesting stuff was non-root. Now even with root, modern Android can be a pain and the interesting stuff just pales in comparison with true Linux
I looked on the play store and fdroid, haven’t found anything. I’d love to have a Linux chroot with CLI linux software, don’t want to root my phone. Halp.

Rule of thumb for android users, all of the interesting shit is shit you can’t do unless you’re rooted.

yeah, linux has me spoiled, just being able to do whatever i want as i please is truly a modern art.
Android made me realize how incredible linux was by being so utterly painful.

look into proot+termux-x11 if you don’t have a rooted device, it’s still very good.
It’s just quite a bit slower. Everything else other than messing with /sys and android processes works the same.
HDMI, mouse and keyboard and you have an office pc.
Yup, I used it all the time with samsung dex, works great

For the lazy, in termux:
$ pkg install proot
$ pkg install proot-distro
$ proot-distro install debian
$ proot-distro login debian
Profit??
Commenting here for a good time.
